FELINE FINE! EBELING EDIT UP AT THRASHER
Let’s say, just for shits and gigs, that Kristin Ebeling went to prison. If there was a curb to skate, she’d probably be perfectly happy locked up. She’d be endlessly entertained learning every curb cut in humanity.
MC SKATE MASTER ASHLEY: PLAY ALL DAY!
“My deep love and affinity for skateboarding has shown me my own resilience and strength. It has also proved to be an incredible tool for my own therapy, self-expression, and pure joy!”
KRISTIN EBELING TAKES TM JOB AT KRUX
KRUX Brand Manager Alex White just wrapped up the work week with a major email mic drop, announcing she has hired Kristin Ebeling as Team Manager. Alex has been on the grind over at NHS for the last year, building the KRUX team into one of the most diverse, talented groups in skateboarding. With the addition of KEBS, there is no doubt KRUX is the cream that will continue rising to the top.
QUELLING THE BULLSHIT
More than simply a bi-annual print magazine, Quell is a full on media company that includes a podcast and event production. One element that people outside of media might not fully realize is that it takes a lot of strength and a thick skin to put your voice out there. Many people at her young age don’t possess that level of maturity. But Adrian Koenigsberg ain’t no basic bitch.
VANS & SKATE WITCHES CAPTURE THE ZEITGEIST!
Vans has thrown the virtual smack down with this super cool collaboration with our pals, the Skate Witches. As part of their “THIS IS OFF THE WALL” campaign, they are partnering up to offer the DEPTH OF FIELD: WORKSHOP SERIES. Featuring three online classes offered to women, trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming peeps, expert witches will share their knowledge of skate photography, videography and zine writing.
Get On Board with Skate Like a Girl!
Come out for the night to celebrate and support SLAG programming which last year reached over 10,000 individuals building confidence, resilience and an inclusive community through the vehicle of skateboarding. The night will include food, drinks, music, a live and silent auction of exclusive items and hearing personal stories from the program.
REVIEW: Vent City Podcast #10 How to Skate While Also Being Terrified of Eating Shit
In this episode of the Vent City the authors & hosts deliberate on the trailblazing “Coping with Creeps” article. The discussion starts at about the 8:25 mark but go ahead and listen to the whole thing, this podcast is pretty legit. As someone who probably wouldn’t pursue a podcast featuring dudes talking about skateboarding, originally I tuned in only because I knew Alex and Kristin were featured in an earlier episode. Since, I’ve became pleasantly surprised by the insightful commentary of Ryan Lay, Kyle Beachy and two guys named Ted; Schmitz and Barrow.
